I have a 69 z28, I am in the middle of restoration and I really do not like the idea of painting aluminum
I'm going to guess and say you are looking for a company or someone that will do the refinishing? if so, I would suggest you contact CRG member Jerry@CHP, this is his CRG name and not his e-mail address. He is well versed in this process and procedure of repairing and refinishing what your want. He owns a company that does this type of work. And if your car is a true numbers matching 69 Z28 he is the man that will be able to certify it as such.
Good Luck and Welcome to CRG!

I'm sending my intake to him.

Thanks,
We'll take good care of it. This is one of our specialties.

Jerry did mine, it looks great. He did my valve covers too. Look here for pics of them:

Jerry did my intake, valve covers, carb, brake booster, alternator, distributor, etc. - if you want it done right, he's your man. :)

Jerry also did my exhaust manifolds - here's a later photo.

Gambitt, when the commies come, I'm heading to you're house. Is that your personal stash? Seriously, the pic of the manifold looks like new, can't wait.

johnz. what is the sticker on the inner wheel well by the heater hose?
The gun stash is my Dad's. He has a pretty impressive collection:) Yes, the intake and valve covers that Jerry did look really great. I now need to acquire some exhaust manifolds so I can send those to him...I also think I will send him my power brake booster.

That's the GM of Canada Oil Change Recommendation sticker; my car was sold new in Canada. :)
JohnZ, quick question about your exhaust manifolds. Did Jerry also reskin the heat riser? Looks to me like it would need to be or it would rust also. I was just curious about this.
Camaro High performance is the way to go,Jerry did both my 69Z and 67Z intakes and my 69 valve covers and brake booster.

Jerry did my Intake, valve covers, alt, steering box, hood hinges, dist, etc etc.... He's the man. Worry free.

Nope, the original heat riser was beyond help, so I replaced it.
So the exhaust manifolds have been reskinned but the heat riser isn't? Will it not rust?

With the care the car gets now, it won't be an issue.
